Trivia

The biggest effect of the picture is the vista glide. There are three scenes that use the effect of the same actor interacting with themselves. The three scenes that were shot was the dinner sequence in 2015, 1955 Biff talking to 2015 Biff in the garage and 1955 Doc talking with 1985 Doc. In order to create the dinner sequence with the vista glide, the camera had to be divided into thirds and Michael had to come in three different times to play his older self, Marty Jr. and his daughter Marlene. Back to the Future Part II is the first film to accomplish interaction between the same actor on the screen twice as two different characters. If you watch closely, you'll see that old Biff's hand disappears during the scene in the garage. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Strickland and Marty are talking to each other in the alternate 1985, there are cracks in the sills around the window and the front door. When the car full of armed "slackers" starts shooting at them, the cracks in the sills disappear. See more »

Crazy Credits

The theatrical version had a teaser for Back to the Future Part III. Some later versions do not have a teaser at all, only showing "To Be Continued", and skip to the credits. Some have "To Be Continued" followed by "Back To The Future III". Some cable versions retain the teaser for Back To The Future Part III, but, of course, do not say "Coming Summer 1990". See more »
